OpenTelemetry Express Instrumentation for Node.js
This module provides automatic instrumentation for express.
For automatic instrumentation see the @opentelemetry/node package.
Installation
1npm install --save @opentelemetry/plugin-express
Supported Versions
^4.0.0
Usage
OpenTelemetry Express Instrumentation allows the user to automatically collect trace data and export them to their backend of choice, to give observability to distributed systems.
To load a specific plugin (express in this case), specify it in the Node Tracer's configuration.
1const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');
2
3const provider = new NodeTracerProvider({
4 plugins: {
5 express: {
6 enabled: true,
7 // You may use a package name or absolute path to the file.
8 path: '@opentelemetry/plugin-express',
9 }
10 }
11});To load all the supported plugins, use below approach. Each plugin is only loaded when the module that it patches is loaded; in other words, there is no computational overhead for listing plugins for unused modules.
1const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node'); 2 3const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
See examples/express for a short example.
Caveats
Because of the way express works, it's hard to correctly compute the time took by asynchronous middleware to complete. For this reason the time you'll see reported for asynchronous middleware will not represent the time it really took.
Express Plugin Options
Express plugin has few options available to choose from. You can set the following:
| Options | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ignoreLayers | IgnoreMatcher[] | Express plugin will not trace all layers that match. |
ignoreLayersType | ExpressLayerType[] | Express plugin will ignore the layers that match based on their type. |
For reference, here are the three different layer type:
routeris the name ofexpress.Router()middlewarerequest_handleris the name for anything thats not a router or a middleware.
